Buckhead Resident Starts Petition To Remove Superintendent Davis

Molly Read Woo, a Buckhead Patch Local Voices blogger, started the online effort late Sunday night.

Late Sunday night, Molly Read Woo sent a petition to each member of the Atlanta School Board, asking them to find a new superintendent instead of renewing Davis' contract.

Its committee of the Whole meeting occurs at 2:30 pm, followed by a community meeting at 6 pm and its legislative meeting at 7 pm.

"I know this petition may be too late to have an impact, as the board is meeting today and members may have already decided whether or not they will vote to renew Davis' contract," Woo said. "Still, I wanted to make sure they knew how at least one APS parent felt about the issue before going into it today."

Woo said Davis has mismanaged APS resources. "He has a lack of concern and communication with those people who work hard to make our schools the best they can be for every student," she said.

"I am sure we can find a better candidate to lead Atlanta Public Schools through the next couple of years."
